Description

Isle of Skye is just the jewel of the Scottish western coast. Amazing landscapes(sea, mountains, desertic plains of the highlands..). If you have enough time to visit the whole Island just do it.

The southern part road is pretty wide, full of interesting curves. After Portree, you will have to ride on one of these famous single Track Roads, consequently on not so good surfacing. But here are the most magnificent points of view, so, don't miss it !
